Soul Sacrifice is doing the free DLC approach right now, pretty effective I think.

Cut out small portions of the full game and then give them out for free periodically over the course of the first 8-10 weeks. Perfect way to keep your games in people's hands.

Better than making you pay, amiright?

Possible cut out, possible newly created content. They've been doing some big updates too. It is still "free" rather than to charge for it. It is a way to keep people around that's not enethical. Interesting regardless...games used to be so simple.

Bullshit! You have any idea how NOT SIMPLE it was just getting my NES cartridges to work?!

I am convinced that everyone had their own set of steps in order to get those damn things to work.

Mine went like this:

#1.) Blow into the cartidge.

#2.) Clap your hands together really hard with the cartridge in between them.

#3.) Place cartridge 3/4 or more into the NES and then SNAP it down into place.

It usually ended up working.

That happened to me a lot on my Genesis. Recently I cleaned the rust in cartridge connectors with a bit of alcohol and that did the trick for all my old games :p
